Hands down the best gym choice in KC. If you are a person who has any fitness goals, Revolution gym will help you achieve them quicker. I've watched numerous transformation of fellow workout friends at the gym -- from athletes to moms to professionals to people who want to loose weight to people looking to get strong or ripped. They have fitness classes for any fitness level and instructors who care and push you to be better. In a world where everyone has a "bootcamp" style class... John Brown's Revolution Gym is by far the superior choice. As an added benefit, he's a local guy, and an owner who truly cares for his clients. The personal one-on-one fitness training blows life coaching out of the water and that isn't even the main purpose. There is a reason his clients are loyal, a reason people referring their friends to join. As a person who has lived in 4 different states, and had memberships to all types of gyms, John's gym is by far my favorite. Corporate chains can't come close to providing a similar experience. My motivation continues to grow and my plateaus continue to be broken. I no longer have to figure out a workout plan, or read conflicting training information in books and magazines ... I just come to the gym and there is a class or workout of the day that John has that continues to make me sweat and push me further. The variety of classes throughout the day always fit my changing lifestyle...sometimes I need an early morning workout, other times a lunch time is all I can do, or something in the evening. For anyone in the MMA or kick boxing arena, having an opportunity to get trained by the best is rare. John's fighters win because they learn from his international undefeated champion style. For people with kids who want their kids to learn a little discipline and martial arts, I've listened to parents laugh how their kids are transforming for the better... with self confidence and respect for parents and teachers. read more

I couldn't imagine going to any other gym besides rEvolution. Within the past couple years of regularly attending the Kickboxing, Boot camp and X-Camp classes, I have obtained a great appreciation for the way the workouts make me feel. They have given me a huge boost of endurance, drastically improved my strength and energy level--And they are fun a the same time! No workout is ever the same and each one is challenging. John Brown has incredible experience and passion for what he does and it shows with each person he trains. The staff at rEvolution is both knowledgeable and motivating when assisting you to meet your goals and see results. Before coming to rEvolution, I had never been to a gym so welcoming to every individual regardless of size, shape, age and capability. Each person at this gym is acknowledged on a personal level and I have been blessed to get to develop great relationships with such friendly people. Pushing yourself through an intense, sweaty workout is a lot of fun when you're with people who have great senses of humor and acceptance. I have witnessed numerous workout friends, some who are just starting out to those that are serious athletes, become satisfied with the results and reaching their goals for a healthy lifestyle. read more

I've been an avid cyclist for years, and felt that I was in good physical condition, but I knew something was missing. I explained my feelings and John got me started on a true "rEvolution" of my physical conditioning. After only a few weeks I was already cycling stronger than I had during any of my 3500+ miles I had put on the bike this season. He and his staff make the hard work enjoyable and exciting. At 45 years old I feel I can keep up with my 5 kids, even when they team up against me! What's been great is that I have learned new ways of working out that makes every workout new and exciting. There is no longer "routine" in my workout routine. The many schedule offerings made it fun getting started because I got to try things that I wouldn't have at a gym "chain store" facility. I love the Boot Camp workout classes and if I can't make it to that, John's Workout of the Day keeps me pushing. And if you need a good kick to get you going, the Kickboxing is a great workout! I don't think I've ever worked this hard and still enjoyed what I was doing this much! read more

I'm new to the gym and was a little aprehensive about starting my fitness quest, again. Revolution Gym is conveniently located near my home, so I emailed the owner, John Brown and explained my goals. He offered a trial visit on the house, which I thought was very nice. I checked out their schedule online and chose to give X-Camp a try. Let's just say it was an intense selection for my first visit. Noe was the instructor and she was very encouraging and supportive as I navigated my way through the various and unique exercises. Throughout the course she would say, "You're doing great, John!" Even the owner, John, knew how to motivate me with humor, "You're doing great holding down those mats, John!" I finished the full hour and ended the class with a big smile on my face and feeling great! I've tried several of the other classes, since then and I've thoroughly enjoyed them all. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be a very fit person soon. read more

Do you want results or do you want to lie to yourself while attending a gym that serves you fufu drinks. I'm a results oriented guy, and John Brown's gym is exactly that. I first met john and was nearly intimidated. We're talking about a world class potentially #1 MMA fighter in the world (20 wins and 0 losses in no rules MMA fighting) and John shook my hand with a serious handshake, giving me his word that he would give me the best workouts I've ever had. I'm going to echo what everyone else always says: "This is not your ordinary bootcamp" John's Revolution Gym gets an A because: Hard core workouts = results Personalized service from the owner himself True friendship with the people you workout around 5 stars because thanks to John, I drink beer and still have the ladies loving my abs. read more

I have had several experiences with Master Brown and his business and they were all excellent. My children loved learning martial arts from him. He was firm yet they took to him very easily. He also set up a boot camp for me and a group of high school girls that I coach. We did a ten week session and though we were definitely sore, we were all in the best shape of our lives after he was done with us. He is knowledgeable in so many areas and is an incredible motivator. You will not be unhappy with your choice if it is rEvolution Gym! read more

Revolution gym has something for everyone. No matter where you are in your fitness journey. I originally joined several years ago to learn martial arts but have expanded to include several of John Brown's fitness classes. I then took a bit of a break to have a child. Now post baby I am feeling very out of shape and exhausted but each time I step into revolution I am motivated to keep pushing myself. It is a fun atmosphere but bring a towel because you will sweat! read more

As good as it gets, really. I have been working out here for a couple of years and this gym is top notch. The instructors are passionate, extremely motivating, and funny as hell.

If you're looking for something new, something hard, something that will transform your body, this just might be the place for you. Come check it out. Intestinal fortitude required, this ain't your momma's gym. read more

I've been working out at rEvolution gym for several months and have gotten better results than any other workout experience I've ever tried. I'm a runner and, after suffering an injury, I recognized the need for more cross training/strength building in my workout routine. I have certainly found that at rEvolution. I regularly attend the Boot Camp and X-Camp classes, as well as Hard Core. I've also done some personal training. It's a great place to get fit! read more

Revolution Gym is by far the best gym in the kansas city area. I have tried just about every gym around here and nothing compares to it.

You will receive the same kind of workout used by Hollywood stars. This is a no frills gym that has a knowlegeable staff who will help you achieve your fitness goals. read more

I've been going to rEvolution now for more than three years. John does an excellent job of changing up the workouts so that you don't get bored. John helped me lose 20 pounds over the summer. I train with John and do the Tuesday/Thursday Boot Camp classes. The instructors are enthusiastic and motivating. The workouts are hard, so your time will be efficiently spent. I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to the people at rEvolution! read more

Love this gym. The staff know how to train all fitness levels. They are extraordinarily knowledgable. I've seen novices come a long way and I've seen marathoners greatly improve their times with cross training. I'm there a lot and I'm in the best shape of my life. The other great thing is I like the people I train with. I enjoy the experience socially as well as physically. read more

I've been to many other gyms and various "boot camp" or strength classes and Revolution Gym has the best classes and trainers by far!
